Recommend me a alternative to Foscam IP camera

Needing a bit of advice as I’m hopeless with this side of tech

I’ve had a Foscam FI8910W for the last 7 years which has worked fine.
It was a nightmare to set up with port forwarding though. It’s now stopped working completely which seems normal for Foscam and I’m lucky it lived so long.


I need a indoor camera which can be controlled from my iPhone from anywhere. Must have night vision , and the ability to tilt/move. It must be easy to set up too. If it recorded movement that would be a bonus.

I’ve also got a blink xt2 system outside which I’ve considered adding another camera but these don’t move/tilt.

Budget around £100 ideally

Thanks in advance

Reolink every time.

Done about 20 installs, never been called back with any issues apart from help configuring or adding extra cameras

Thanks I’ll take a look

Any particular model?

Indoor use , night vision and tilt/pan are a must. Plus easy to set up using a phone

The last one took many calls to Foscam and them taking control of the laptop to set it up. I’ve no laptop now and jus want to scan a QR code like I did on the Blink

Edited to add - E1 Pro looks like it does what I need ? Can you combine 2 of these on 1 App to give more coverage.

I have both a Reolink (5 mp) and foscam (4mp PTZ and optical zoom) camera, both were simple to set up.

The Foscam one had the QR code that is scanned to set up like you mention, I really like it. I reckon most have moved on in recent years and made easier to set up.

Reocam do get a lot of praise on here, so you won’t go wrong with them.

Cheers guys.

Ordered a pair of E1 pro cameras as they look ideal.
